Will Trump back Marjorie Taylor Greene for House Speaker in 2022?

My guess is that she'll be his choice, even if he issues his recommendation from a jail cell.

His backers won't care if he's in jail, Moscow, or Hell. They'll do what "Dear Leader" wants them to do.

I always knew the world was a fucked up place. But Trump and his elves have crashed through "a fucked up world" into a realm that has no name and no one can even define.

Each and every Democrat must grasp the fact that the Republican Party, or whatever it is they've become, have declared all out war on American democracy. And we must, MUST reply accordingly.

The Republican Party has become the biggest threat to democracy since WWII.

well to be accurate, I mean I had to unsubscribe from Sling which was my source for live broadcasts of MSNBC.

I couldn't even sit through more than 30 seconds of Rachael Maddow on Monday night, because of the point you just made, it is what is happening. The republican party is overturning the 2020 election state by state with no legal or other kind of consequence.

I just can't wrap my head around what that actually means without suffering all of the effects of a panic attack.

I feel like the media is giving him and his cult followers (voters/elected officials) more power by amplifying their every move, their every comment. It's even better than twitter, because every single utterance is broadcast every single day, on every single cable channel, and tweeted, and written about in the papers and repeated on twitter and facebook and whatever the hell else is available, evidence by the fact that he isn't in jail and we're talking about him, his family, and these nut jobs in Congress and elsewhere throughout the country every single day, every single hour.

sorry the rambling and cluttered thoughts.. it's horrible. there's no end to this.
